Years And Life Poem by Luo Zhihai

岁月人生

十年苦阅寒窗，悬梁刺股但期一举登龙榜
半辈蹉跎经历，尚武崇文岂料两折莫奈何
一路穿梭岁月，栩栩如生故事传奇负肩膀
两相情愿人生，欣欣若醉良宵皎月坠爱河

注：第一二句钱永德作，第三四句罗志海作。


Years And Life

For ten years hard reading
in the poor family
tied his hair on the house beam
jabbed his side with an awl
to keep himself awake
but expected to one lift the Dragon List

In half a lifetime
the waste time of experience
emphasized military affairs
worshipped literature
who would have thought
two twists and turns
to no avail

All the way
shuttled years
true to nature
stories and legends were loaded
on my shoulders

Both sides are willing to do the thing
lives joyful to be drunk
in the good night and the bright moon
fell into love

Note: first and second sentences by Qian Yongde.
Third and fourth sentences by Luo Zhihai.
